Norfolk VA area: Seeking local knowledge.

[trogers]

We just relocated our boat to the Norfolk VA area; Hayes VA.

Seeking local insights and knowledge about local trades/services such as boat cleaning, diving, AC and canvas work.

Eager to take advantage of local forum member's lessons learned rather than having to make my own version of the same old mistakes.


Kind regards,
Timothy Rogers

It's a boat; I'm always in need of good advice. Calling the generator person this week!

So far I'm pretty pleased to be at Severn Yachting Center. It is off the beaten path.

We prefer and esteem quiet quite highly! Grocery store is ~3 miles away, West Marine about the same. All the basics.

The travel lift is 75T and extra wide. The facility seems to have carved a catamaran niche out of the east coast. So they can handle our 18'2" beam with loads to spare.
